Obesity Flashcards
what is better at predicting cardio-respiratory comorbidities than BMI
waist or collar circumference
BMI limitations
- not a direct measure of adipose tissue or fat distribution
- inaccurate at height extremes of with lean body mass
ideal body weight
IBW (kg) = height in cm - x
x=100 for men, 105 for women
lean body weight
total body weight - adipose tissue
LBW=IBWx1.3
fat distribution patterns
apple/android: male, correlation with metabolic syndrome, increased morbidity and mortality
pear/gynoid: women, not correlated with metabolic syndrome
obesity BMI
> 30
morbidly obese BMI
> 40 or >35 with obesity-related comorbidity
obesity - cardiovascular changes
- increase in CO (SV), blood volume, arrhythmias, workload on heart which leads to hypertrophy, HTN (blood viscosity, catecholamine and estrogen release)
- hyperinsulinemia: increased levels of norepinephrine and angiotensinogen
total body water for obese patient
40%
obesity - coagulation changes
- hypercoagulability, increased risk of DVT, CVA
- adipose tissues promote chronic inflammatory state
- increased clotting factors
obesity - respiratory changes
- diaphragm cephalad
- decreased: chest wall compliance, lung compliance, FRC, ERV, VC, TLC
- increased: elastic resistance, work of breathing, pulmonary blood volume
- unchanged: residual volume and closing capacity, FEV/FVC
*maintain normocapnia by increasing MV with rapid, shallow breathing
obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis criteria and 3 types
->10 seconds, >15 episodes per hour, >4% saturation decrease
- OSA: respiratory efforts without airflow
- central sleep apnea: no respiratory efforts
- mixed
STOP BANG - OSA criteria
snoring tiredness observed stop breathing blood pressure BMI>35 age>50 neck circumference>40 cm gender=male
- high risk = more than 3
- majority of patients are undiagnosed so it is important to screen
Pickwickian syndrome
- obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS)
- long term result of OSA
- hypoventilation while awake with PaCO2>45 mmHg
obesity - gastric changes
- increased: gastric pressure, GERD, volume, acidity, gallstones, pancreatitis
- decreased: LES tone
- delayed gastric emptying
